Ali and I made it to New York! We have been praying for God to prepare our hearts for this trip and now, the time is at hand. Tomorrow we will find out exactly what our assignments for the week will be, but the project that thus far has received the most attention is the work we will be doing with HIV testing clinics. Teams representing the church plant with which we are working will be deployed throughout the city to encourage New Yorkers to receive testing. Pray that God will give us boldness and that Ali and I will be sensitive to the Spirit's lead. We deeply want to make a difference for the kingdom. Tonight, we walked the streets of New York, getting a feel for the city. Needless to say, the city is an intimidating and exciting place, teeming with energy. It is a melting pot of people of different cultures, and as we walked the streets, our hearts were broken by the vast lostness of the masses of people. Pray that the Gallery Church can be used by the Lord to lead New Yorkers from every nation, tribe, and tongue, to become true worshipers of the One True God.
Thank you, Highland Park, for giving us the opportunity to be here! You are such a wonderful church and we are greatly appreciative of your prayers and support. It is a joy to be your pastor.

Looks like you figured out the blog! :) We prayed for you several times in church this morning, and will continue to do so on our own as well. Love the picture of you by the river! Great eye! - Scott & Jennifer Hurst
Glad you made it safe. I am sure that God will use you.
We're praying for you as you minister to the people of NY. We're also praying that your hearts & minds aren't worried w/ the girls.
